COLUMBIA TRISTAR had to dig deep into its vaults to
find “JUST ONE OF THE GUYS.” It’s one of those films that viewers either
love or hate. This critic loved it. While it’s incredibly stupid at times,
and
often predictable, there’s something about its ‘80s style that makes
it,…endearing?
Joyce Hyser stars as Terry, an aspiring high-school journalist upset at being
discounted as a worthy writer due to her sex. She decides to pose as a boy and
enter a writing contest at a rival high school.
What follows, are mostly lame, but sometimes actually quite funny teen-targeted
jokes.
COLUMBIA TRISTAR has only released a full-frame version. Worse, there are
plenty of artifacts throughout the film. Colors are decent, but lack depth.
Contrast is only average, lacking detail in darker
scenes.
The Dolby Digital 2.0 track is also average, offering a few separational
effects, but never boosting the pop music featured throughout the film.
Several trailers are also included.
